My BEAUTIFUL sister.

We had nothing to work with and some of these are completely unedited! I am looking forward to shooting with furniture & at better locations, starting Monday! She still made these pictures perfect!

I have decided I want to start doing photography..
I think I might team up with someone and get started, just experimenting.
It's always been a huge interest of mine but I've never taken initiative and pursued it. I have seven credits left to get for my associates degree and I have to take twelve in order to keep my scholarship for Fall of this year, I'm debating..and thinking I might take photgraphy classes since I think they wouldn't only be fun and useful..but also free..Even if the credits won't transfer..

It's not for sure..but it's a tentative plan, I'm also considering retaking one of the classes I ended up with a B in..But afraid of the possibility that I would end with the same result, and it doesn't affect my GPA enough to matter anyway..
So I have to decide...Take Anatomy again..or not. We will see.



And..for anyone interested, I would love to experiment by taking pictures of YOU.

In the mean time I will just enjoy lovin on my little..
He is my world.

Cute Moments of the Week ♥

I adore him. This week, he was cute as ever. He makes me smile, I'm just a bit sad that he won't look at the camera for pictures anymore..he knows, I guess that means I've taken too many.

One night, when we were getting ready for bed Tate crawled around on our bed for a few minutes before deciding to fall asleep on Brandon's leg, he was also asleep. IT was adorable to say the least.


This smile, it gets me everytime ♥
He is my PRINCE:)


He will be one handsome lil baseball player!
And this right here..

..just has to be the cutest face ever.

My not so little 6 month old

I love my little six month old! Wait a minute..6 months old? Omg that went way too fast! Tate growing up has been everything I expected..Very Bittersweet Loving each stage as I miss the last!But my lil man now has a personality and a half, that's for sure! He is the sweetest little guy and just melts my heart, I think he probably gets annoyed with the 5 billion kisses he gets each day but what can I say..I can't resist! He is getting very active and loves to crawl around everywhere which means I have to keep a much closer eye on him. Homework with him in the room is nearly impossible..He tipped over the bouncer I had him sitting in while attempting to grab,(and probably eat/destroy) my textbooks...what a goof! It might be frustrating at times but I can't ever help but laugh. He adds so much fun to my life.
Yesterday we were playing, or I was watching him play in his pack and play when he decided he is done being a baby that just crawls around, at 6 months and 3 days old he grabbed the side of his bed and stood up, all on his own! I was amazed and could not believe that my tiny little guy did that so quickly..I am just glad I was right there or I could just imagine him trying to jump out of there. Which reminds me of his "Thing of the past" which really isn't a thing of the past since he still does it..but it's old news! I used to come home and if Tate was asleep I would set his carseat down in the darkest room so I wouldn't wake him, I would just unbuckle him so he could be comfy, until the day I walked in the front room to find my baby on the floor!! Being that he wasn't even 5 months I wasn't expecting that I needed to worry about...No more of that, he has the strategy down! Oh the things you learn as a mommy; You can never be too certain:) He keeps me on my toes, & I think thats a good thing...For now anyway!

School & Such..

I am loving life lately, I think the busy days with school and everything going on make me appreciate life as a mommy even more.
I have had some very late nights
I guess now I know where my Tater Bug gets his curiosity from!
I can't pull myself away from everything going on during the day so I stay up so late each night doing homework
I am feeling very accomplished though
& very much looking forward to my associates degree I will receive this summer or after fall semester!
I will have seven credits left once spring semester is over so I have three options:
Wait to finish and take Fall classes, do two classes over the summer which will be everyday and long, or do Rio Salado online classes. What to do?!

And as for my career? I was so set on being a neonatologist
Then so set on being a neonatal nurse
& So set on a Physicians Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
Now thinking PharmacisT?!

What is wrong with my mind..or my motivation...whatever it is!

Now I really don't know what I am so set on... suppose only time will tell, I think success is really what I am striving for, so as long as whatever I do leads to that, I will be happy:)
& honestly I already am! Being a mom is the best job, my career will come second! Someday I hope to post about loving my career, when I finally make up my mind and finish those years of school! I am looking forward to all of it! It will be a fun ride!

Brandon is also facing "career choices", he recently applied and tried out with the Pinal County Sherriffs dept, and will hopefully have a 2nd go-around with a different department soon. Until then..We had contemplated spending the summer in Cali for Brandon to work for Moxie, but now they moved the sales team here to target Phoenix so that might come before his police journey...Yet again, we will see:)
